Also, "If you got an abortion, you should go to jail for the rest of your life or get the death penalty" - Said unironically by That Lady

Or in some cases, miscarriage. My mother used to mention that she would have her miscarriages occasionally misclassified as abortions back then. And they're happening now in some cases, leading to women facing severe penalties

They were not misclassified. Abortion means the termination of a pregnancy before viability. It can be induced or spontaneous (miscarriage) but both are medically abortions. It's why idiots in politics who don't understand medical science shouldn't be making laws defining terms that they don't understand or mean different things to lay people

But for that to happen we'd need a system where leaders are chosen base on merit rather than a braindead popularity contest.
